Es geht um Jaka Cuber Potocnik. Ein Spieler aus Slowenien, geboren am 17.06.2005, der beim 1. FC Köln in der U19 spielt. Potocnik hatte laut FIFA einen Vertrag bei ŠD NK Olimpija Ljubljana vom 01.06.2021 bis 30.06.2024.
Die Mutter unterschrieb den Vertrag des damals 16-Jährigen demnach mit und beschwerte sich am 23.01.2022 über nicht eingehaltene Zusagen wie bspw. Training mit der ersten Mannschaft und individuelle Förderung.

1/8 Russian Oligarch Files: Roman #Abramovich
A morally #corrupt high-profile Russian billionaires because of the success of football club Chelsea FC, Roman Abramovich was sanctioned later than some others, because he is less obviously influential than other #Putin allies.

2/8 His influence in the Kremlin is limited, he is more #Putin ‘s bitch than his friend, but is tolerated by Mr Putin (as long as he pays). Abramovich has made corrupted money out of the relationship, through #putin awarding him contracts for the #FIFA 2018 World Cup in Russia.
3/8 #Abramovich denies having close ties to Mr Putin or the Kremlin, but the UK portion of his estimated $12.4bn fortune is now frozen. At the start of the war he was forced to put Chelsea up for sale for £3bn. and his £150m house in London's Kensington Palace Gardens in London.

For the football fans among you who watched the #WorldCup
#Argentina just won #FIFAWorldCup for the 3rd time.
I started watching the men's tournament in 1978, when Argentina hosted and won its 1st title.
#Qatar2022 was the 1st men's #WorldCup I have not watched in the 44 years since.
I had 6,500 reasons why.

I was 12yo when I watched #Argentina lift its 1st #WorldCup and I did not know then of sportswashing that made that 1978 tournament possible. I am sure #FIFA did.

This men’s #WorldCup represents the apotheosis of #Fifa fuckery. The more we let Fifa get away with, the lower it dragged our moral bar with it until we arrived here, the Qatar World cup, the apotheosis of fuckery and the nadir of a moral standard. #FIFAWorldCupFinal
Authoritarianism: check. Misogyny: check. Homophobia: check. And yes all that checked for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. I am guilty of playing along with sportswashing. I claim no higher moral ground here.

Qatar WC took that fuckery & plunged further into that nadir because even for those who play whataboutery game, for whom no country is free of sin, the 6,500 migrant workers who died while making this WC possible was our loudest moral alarm bell & collectively we failed the test.

I read AG Rantos' #SuperLeague Opinion (available at curia.europa.eu/juris/document…) for you and here are my main takeaways 🧵🧵🧵
#Sportslaw #EUlaw #BosmanDay #FIFA #UEFA
#Sportslaw #EUlaw #BosmanDay #FIFA #UEFA
It opens with some drama, "the very existence of the organisational structure of the modern game" and "the the future of European football" are at play. (§2)
The first really interesting part of the Opinion concerns the AG's assessment of the relevance of Article 165 TFEU and the European Sports Model in the case (§§27-42).
1. Where #France once again stops the Arab (#Moroccan) Invasion of Europe
It turns out to be the fate of France to stop Morocco from winning #FIFA World Cup 2022.
More than 1200 years ago too, it was France which stopped the Umayyad (Islamic) invasion of Europe. This is how.

2. After the death of the Prophet, under the leadership of Caliph Umar, the Arab armies had broken upon Persia, Byzantium, Egypt and then continued conquering and converting new countries to #Islam until Morocco. But they were not to stop there.
3. In 711 the Muslim armies invaded and conquered the Iberian peninsula comprising Spain and Portugal within seven years. The march of Islam seemed unstoppable. They had not just taken northern Africa and Western Asia, but had conquered a huge kingdom of Europe.
1. #FIFA and the Arab Conquest of Iberia
Four days ago, when #Morocco achieved a shock win over #Spain in penalty shoot-out, the myth of ‘local Islam’ was busted. Muslims of Spain, just like anywhere else, came out on streets all over Spain to celebrate Morocco’s victory.

2. This is because Islam does not recognize national boundaries. Geographical barriers are for non-Muslims.
For Muslims, the only true boundary is Muslims vs. non-Muslims. A non-Muslim next door is an enemy. A Muslim ten thousand kilometers away is a friend.

3. For them the division is between Dar-ul Harb (the land of non-Muslims) and Dar-ul Islam (the land of Muslims). It is the sacred duty of Muslims to convert Dar-ul Harb into Dar-ul Islam. Those Muslims who live in other countries firmly believe in this quest.

Vediamo di mettere un po’ d’ordine nel caso #Juventus, perché altrimenti sembra che sia un fatto di tifo o qualche astruso metodo da “ambienti dell’alta finanza”, mentre è tutto molto più semplice: 1/n
Anzitutto, i bilanci sono l’unico documento ufficiale che può garantire la credibilità di qualunque azienda: per questo la #Juve, che ci chiede di prestarle soldi sui mercati finanziari (azioni e altri strumenti) ha l’obbligo di pubblicare il proprio bilancio. 2/n
Che può essere bello o brutto, perché a tutti capita la sfiga o una temporanea cattiva gestione, ma deve essere vero: se ci racconti bugie stai ingannando “il mercato”, cioè quelli che dovrebbero darti i soldi sulla fiducia e in cambio di un pezzo di carta (le azioni)… 3/n

Sportswashing the World Cup from Geneva

"Qatar chose Geneva to launch a massive public relations campaign in a bid to secure the World Cup and impose its narrative on sports. From there, the emirate could access FIFA, United Nations institutions, heads of state and diplomats. SWI swissinfo.ch investigated"
🛑 La #CoupeDuMonde au #Qatar suscite de nombreuses controverses (corruption, désastre écologique, ouvriers morts pour construire les stades…)

2/ De nombreux articles se sont faits l’écho de ces controverses (exemple ici avec Le Monde). Mais presque aucun média n’a évoqué un autre sujet problématique : l’adhésion du #Qatar à l’idéologie des Frères musulmans et sa promotion de l’#islamisme.

3/ L’une des rares à dénoncer cette situation a été @CarolineFourest. L’essayiste a ainsi revélé sur @LCI que des tentes sont installées aux abords des stades pour convertir les supporters à l’islam et que le #Qatar a formé 2000 personnes dans ce but.
